Sexual Abuse Survivor

Helping you go from retraumatized to resilient.

  • Intrusive memories or flashbacks
  • Difficulty feeling safe or trusting others
  • Emotional numbness or dissociation
  • Anxiety, fear, or hypervigilance
  • Challenges in relationships or intimacy
  • Shame, guilt, or self-blame

Feeling triggered, anxious, or carrying heavy memories?

Healing from sexual abuse can leave lasting emotional and physical effects. You might notice flashbacks, hypervigilance, guilt, shame, difficulty trusting, or struggles in relationships. You may feel isolated, overwhelmed, or like your past is controlling your present.

At Aram Connection, we help you make sense of these experiences and reclaim your sense of safety and self. Therapy gives you space to process trauma, rebuild trust in yourself, and develop tools for coping and thriving.

Therapy can help you feel safer, empowered, and more like yourself again.

How Aram Connection Helps:

We draw from trauma-informed therapy, somatic approaches, EMDR, and mindfulness to help you regulate your nervous system, rebuild boundaries, and reclaim control over your life.
